Doc, look familiar? Heh, all I sez was 'Look, you're drinking too much Fox Flavored Tea'...apparently that is the new ad-hominem attack.

Of course, he's allowed to say whatever he wants and it's civil, but as soon as someone says something to the contrary, it's attacking and hurtful and rude. It also bugs the shit out of me when people just go '...' instead of ending the fucking sentence.

It's going to be a long drive next week.

I remember well. Free speech also includes insults, and telling the other person that they are an idiot.

Well it got better , he is apparently so butthurt over three comments I've made ( apparently he was deeply offended when I 'labeled him a 'hater' on a public forum'... I said 'haters gonna hate') that I woke up to a 1000 word email about how I'm a terrible excuse for a person and he's no longer coming to CO with us. Nice.

at least the drive will be more pleasant. You may be a terrible excuse for a person, but you don't have to listen to 1500 miles worth of it...

Bourbon rest day today. Fired teh magnum opus yesterday. Got teh same beta from teh same Oregonian chick as last year about skipping teh 4th bolt until I've grabbed teh ledge. Got teh super best fiernds clean to teh hard moves by teh lip, then lowered off and called it a day. Gg left early this morning, so it's just me and various Angelenos out hear.

Pissed in Hell-hio last Monday night at teh Brazenhead Pub in Dublin. Cute little place but I thank teh Mormon gawds I don't have to live there.

What the hell? We are like 3 miles from the brazenhead. Ewe didn't look up teh clamhats?

Ha, no shit?!? I kinda thought teh place looked hip enough fore ewe gays. But we were just grabbing a last minute bite before Akron, where we spent teh night. Not sure but I think we are taking a moar southern root home, but if we end up back there I'll let ewe know.

Def give me a shout if you head back through C-bus. Or if you want to climb some SoSandStone on a wknd.

I gruppe-posted highlights from the weekend's political discussion.

On the positive side, there were no name calling and hating about it.

On the flip side, there was a lot of mental face-palming and conversation-switching on my part.
